SAN DIEGO - Infielder Wilmer Flores has been on a tear since he was demoted to Triple-A Las Vegas. By going 1-for-4 Sunday, he extended his hitting streak to 21 games. During the streak, he's hitting .365 with seven homers and 29 RBIs.

Though it was overshadowed by Odrisamer Despaigne's no-hit bid, Mets righthander Zack Wheeler held the Padres to one run in six innings, lowering his ERA to 3.78 . . . Travis d'Arnaud was charged with his ninth passed ball of the season . . . With the designated hitter available to the Mets in Seattle, and with the Mariners expected to start righthanders in two of the three games, Bobby Abreu will find himself in the starting lineup.
